Juliana Hall - I died for beauty
00
Copied!
I died for beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room
He questioned softly why I failed?
“For beauty,” I replied
“And I for truth,ꟷthe two are one;
We brethren are,” he said
And so, as kinsmen met a night
We talked between the rooms
Until the moss had reached our lips
And covered up our names
Adjusted in the tomb
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room
He questioned softly why I failed?
“For beauty,” I replied
“And I for truth,ꟷthe two are one;
We brethren are,” he said
And so, as kinsmen met a night
We talked between the rooms
Until the moss had reached our lips
And covered up our names
